“It’s not just the police capturing criminals; it’s a continuous cycle. Typically, the worst oue is that some individuals escape and remain uncaught. However, this enigmatic organization is significantly more powerful than I am, and it might even surpass your strength. Once we engage with them, things could spiral out of control, and we might find ourselves exposed to their scrutiny.”


    As Li Yalin spoke, his expression grew serious. “Young Master Wade, I’m not sharing this out of fear for my life or a desire to retreat. After all, you saved me. It’s because of you that my family is still alive today. If I were to die, it wouldn’t matter to me. What I truly hope is that you prepare yourself to stay safe, and if possible, do your best to protect my family as well.”


    Charlie paused for a moment before responding earnestly, “Tan Li, your current focus should be on utilizing your expertise, the natural disaster data at your disposal, and the details from May 47 to pinpoint the location of the other party without initiating contact. If contact bes absolutely necessary, I will personally handle it to avoid putting you at risk.”


    Li Yalin quickly rified, “Master Wade, I am not hesitant to take risks…”


    Charlie nodded in understanding, “I appreciate your bravery, and I have no doubts about your courage. However, as you pointed out, contact is reciprocal, so we must proceed with caution. If we do need to reach out, it’s far safer for me to initiate that contact than for you. Therefore, focus on the initial investigation, and I will determine the next steps.”<fn282a> This update is avable on find~novel</fn282a><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Li Yalin’s intention was to emphasize the importance of being vignt and careful in their approach.


    Seeing that Charlie had epted his advice, Li Yalin felt a sense of relief. “Master Wade, in that case, I have nothing to worry about. I will keep you updated as soon as I make any progress.”


    Later that night, as Charlie drove back to Providence, Li Yalin boarded a Virgin Antic flight to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, with ayover in London.


    After a twelve-hour journey, uponnding in Beirut, he was personally escorted by Abbas via helicopter to the Wanlong Pce base in Syria.


    Thanks to Wanlong Hall’s substantial funding, the base was already taking shape on arge scale.


    A multitude of workers from across the Middle East were tirelessly constructing this vast site around the clock, utilizing high-end machinery typically found only in developed nations.


    When Li Yalin witnessed the impressive sight of several Liebherr 750-ton all-terrain cranes lifting wind turbines around the Wanlong Pce base, he was taken aback.


    He instinctively turned to Abbas and asked, “Master Abbas… Are these wind turbines also a part of Wanlong Hall’s assets?!”


    Abbas nodded and replied with a smile, “We have multiple sources of electricity for Wanlong Hall, and wind power generation is just one of them. Not far from here, we’ve also invested heavily in photovoltaic power generation. We utilize sr energy during the day and wind energy at night. In case of shortages, we have official supply agreements with Syria. Once our power generation is fully operational, we n to invest inrge-scale energy storage as well. Additionally, over 80% of Syria’s oil has been imed by the United States, leaving the Syrian government with nothing. They n to grant us a mining license, allowing us to explore and extract oil ourselves, which will enable us to construct an oil refinery and a petroleum power nt.”


    Li Yalin was astonished, eximing, “This operation is enormous…”


    Abbas responded casually, “Mr. Wade orchestrated all of this. He instructed me to build it here at the Yongbei Base. Hence, our infrastructure must be robust, and Mr. Wade has invested tens of billions of dors in funding for this project. We aim to allocate more resources to exchange money for time.”


    Li Yalin couldn’t help but admire, “Young Master Wade certainly knows how to execute ns. If this base ispleted, it might indeed rival that mysterious organization.”


    After a brief pause, he quickly asked, “By the way, Master Wan, where is the site that Young Master Wade mentioned?”


    Abbas replied, “May 47 is located in the core area, which is the most secure. Inspector Li, please follow me!”<h3 id="chapter-list" ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">
